I wanted to image this for a while, and conditions were great, so i collimated the Newtonian, set up with the DSLR, and gathered about 2.3 hours of 3 min exposures at 800 iso.  Processed in APP and Lightroom, I'm really pleased with the result

thanks for looking, and any feedback for improvement is welcome of course

Very nice Mike - good crisp detail and colour.  Nice round stars too - do you use a coma corrector?
